Chevrolet Cobalt Service & Repair Manual: Precautions

When working on or around brake assemblies, care must be taken to prevent breathing asbestos dust, as many manufacturers incorporate asbestos fibers in the production of brake linings. During routine service operations the amount of asbestos dust from brake lining wear is at a low level because of a chemical breakdown during use and a few precautions will minimize exposure.
1. Do not sand or grind brake linings unless suitable local exhaust ventilation equipment is used to prevent excessive asbestos exposure.
2. Wear suitable respirator approved for asbestos dust use during repair procedures.
3. When cleaning brake dust from brake components, use vacuum cleaner with highly efficient filter system. If suitable vacuum cleaner is not available, use water soaked rag. Do not use compressed air or dry brush to clean brake components.
4. Keep work area clean.
5. Properly dispose of rags and vacuum cleaner bags by placing them in plastic bags.
6. Do not smoke or eat while working on brake systems. Never use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, motor oil, transmission fluid, or any fluid containing mineral oil to clean brake system components.
7. If system contamination is suspected, inspect brake fluid in reservoir for dirt, discoloration, or separation (breakdown). Drain fluid into suitable container and flush hydraulic system with clean brake fluid.
